Hard tails rule 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 Better to have an aggressive hard tail than a cheapo full sus bike any day of the week, love mine...

Thanks Matt! We need more pros promoting the use of hardtails!

Hardtails will never die 👍🙂

Nice to see someone doing a good video about agro hardtails! I swear this is an unrepresented demographic these days.. there's loads of people who love 'em and would rather ride them than full sussers. Nothing sexier than a good hardtail.

Love a good hardtail grew up on them still ride one can do most things on it, love it!

Hey I’m a dad, and I can kinda wheelie! My 2 boys (5&9) love your videos! They look forward to everyone and cheered you on watching joyride! Great videos! That bike is beautiful!

"off to the shops" that has to be your Sam Pilgrim "to the skyyyyyy" equivalent... :) :) :)

I have a great full suspension enduro bike but you can't beat the fun you can have on an aggressive hardtail, you have to pick lines more and focus more. So much fun!

Bought a Hardtail a few months ago and have been loving every moment on it. Flogging it hard.

“Idk what it’s like... it’s like something that’s cool that’s what it is.” Perfectly sums up my love of bikes

Your dropper post explanation was hilarious :)

Sick riding! Love the sound of that hub.

i love the elegant simplicity of hard tails.

Love this! I have a hardtail 29er but always afraid to ride it hard but always wanted to and have done some mild trails, finally a riding discipline that explains how I want to riden

Yeeeessss the hartail Take it everywhere Nice video

Your videos are so cool, keep it up man Went back to HT last week after 25 years on FS, no regrets, feels amaaazing

I'm a pioneer, I do the hardtail riding, forget full suspension...

I agree. got my first HT (Niner Air 9 RDO), and it is so much fun. Very lively and not uncomfortable on the trails at all.

"Stiff at the rear, Soft at the front" Lol Like it 👍

This bike looks very nice dude i love it you make it look so easy to bike like that man.

I love my mid '90's 26" hardtail...(of course upgraded parts, only the frame is original) 1x10, all XT, 2017 RS, NOS xt v-brakes though...Spike Spank bars, Nuke proof stem, Cane Creek headset,...etc...all that wrapped around an awesome Cromoly frame. Always puts a smile on my face. Yes, I know...it doesn't have the geometry of newer bikes or disc brakes...but it's a helluva lotta fun!!

The gopro footage of you guys riding the trails makes that place look like the most beautiful mysterious forest on earth. I wanna come ride it. So cool.

Hard tails are awesome I will never give up mine! Great video 👍😊💪🏋️‍♀️🚴‍♀️

pound for pound - best hardtail vid i've seen!!! thanks for this dudes!!

awesome bike Matt was thinking of getting one of these. From this video has shown me that it can literally do anything.

That thing looks awesome!

Fair play to Scott make me feel like I might be able to ride like that too. Good on yer Matt well done at crankworx's!

Finally, a slack, low, short chain stay hard tail. I've been saying that's what we've needed for years now. Perfection in my eyes. Nice job.

Love my aggressive 15” frame 29” wheeled hardtail!

I also have my lovely hardtail made by babahbikes chromoly frame and it's absolutly make me enjoy what i want to act with MTB. Great job my friend. Most greeting from Indonesian bikers. 🙏

Love the bike Matt, looks amazing

Hell yeah! Aggressive hard tails are so much fun!

Yeeeeeees! You’ve been hanging around with Harry Lols! Great video, I love my Orange Crush !

I love you videos Matt keep it up

If you wear a helmet with Red Bull logo, you better have skills.

Such a nice video! I hope you film some digging session with the crew at Woburn and riding👌🏼get everything shaped up steep and dialed in, have FUN greetings from Germany

Do the Megavalanche run on it! Ultimate hardtail category definer! Love it mate, looks sick to

Rode full sus for over 25years but now sold it . Got a cotic soul hardtail back to my roots and love it . So simple

Yes Matt loving the Marin keep it up mate👍🏻

the thing you said about dropper posts is so true. i got my first dropper a week ago and i can't remember managing without it.

This was the first video I watched before subscribing to your channel.

Bought a 2017 Norco Torrent HT last year. Pretty much the same thing an aggressive HT. Because I missed a HT but mostly wanted a tough m, simple, quiver killer. Straight up funniest and best bike I've ever owned.

Great to see Scott on a bike. I’d say that would be perfect for windhill bikepark.

Absolutely awesome 😎

Thanks for your video Matt 🙏🏻

great ride boys, great bike, great park ... enjoyed it !

Haha ... I am 58 and was going to jack it all in after years of MTB'ing and tearing my hamstring and shoulder in Morzine about 4 weeks ago ... now waiting on my San Quentin 3 to arrive hehe! just on the back of these vids! Ok I wont be ripping up any trees but I will look like I could when coast by!!!!! Can't wait and thanks for the inspiration.

So true . Thank you for this video. Hardtail Dad😉 with a 13 year son on a Orange Crush Pro

Nice video man! Anwy what size of ur hardtail mtb? Is it 27.5 or 29er? Thanks!

Always loved hardtails and always will!

As much as I want I full-squish...I just can't let go of my 650B GT hardtail...she's an absolute beauty and blast to ride. I might even replace her with All-mountain Chromag build instead of a FS when the time comes to get a new bike.

This is it. I am confident now using my hardtail to make flow❤️

Love the bike, looks soooooo good!

Nice t shirt man. U know ur winning at life when u have your name on your t shirt 👍👍

Matt Jones your a legend I can’t stop watching you lol I’ve love to ride with you

Thanks for the advice! I am gonna be looking for a new bike soon. I still love my Diamondback tho.

Im with you on the dropper, best invention since electric windows..

That bike is sweeeeet dude! 😍🤙🏼

Your summary of the dropper post is the best ive seen...lol

Sweet video Matt, love the bike too. What size are you on (and how tall are you)?

Nice to see someone did to blog about hardtrail mtb.. yes, im using hardtrail mtb going uphill to boost my climbing ability on my road bike.. its effective..

I just bought a new Marin nail trail e1! I’m so stoked!!

that looks so awesome

Sick video and sick bike 🤘

Looks dope.

Marin. I was gander'n at the San Quentin, until the local bike shop, added a ton of extra costs to the bike. Charging me shipping & handling, adjusting, and...assembly! No wonder small bike shops are becoming extinct. Opted for the Ragley Big AL. 29er...is the way-to-be.

just pulled out mine after 5 years! still kicks

Nice video man! nice hardtail!

Great jumping buddy .. don't like the sound but when I was a kid I loved putting lolly pop sticks in spokes lol

“Quite a lot of stance to it” 😂

That hub sound so good 👌🏻

How does it ride on a street mission “to the shops”. Ugh thanks time to make more room for that bike in the garage because you just convinced me to pick one up. 😂👍👍

Hey Matt! Take her to the black trails, Stainburn will make her smile. Nothing feels better than flowing gnar on a hardtail :)

I ride a socialized pitch sport and it’s amazing, the tires are pretty thick so where ever there’s sand I don’t slip out as much

that bike is SICK. congrats

Gimbal footage is incredible!

Yo Matt! I recently bought a San Quentin 1 and although it hasn't even been delivered yet I'm already looking for upgrades. I noticed the frame of the San Quentin 1 has 141mm open dropouts and I found it really difficult to find a wheel that would fit those dropouts? do you maybe have a solution for this, or maybe some recommendations? Cheers!

Love this video 🤟🍻

I have 4 bikes 2 hard tails, 2 full suspension love them all.

Finally I'm not the only one in love with hardtails

Yer Matt I think you should bring the bike farmer johns on the 50 to John line 🤘🤘

Hey Matt what travel are those fox 36 ? How does it ride with more than the standard 130mm? Thinkn of increasing mine to 150

such a sick bike! nice playground too

That cassette sounds mental, i used to have a marin about 20 years ago, it was the lightest bike ever, passed the little finger test, they have come a long way, that bike is sick, how expensive is that cassette BTW?

I love my Orbea 29er hardtail...

Yes hard tails are the best 🚵🚲🚴

Amazing FPV footage!

Just wondering what gimbal you’re using? I have a dji osmo I have rigged up to a chest harness but never actually ridden on the trails with

I had a 05 marin Rocky ridge and snapped it in half in 2015 unfortunately but was my favorite bike ever and that one there kinds reminds me of it but just newer/better

Love a hardtail! And that hub is a beast. Why does clicking sound so pleasing?

Brilliant clip keep it up Matt 😂😂😂 yeti cycles rule 🚒👍👍

We send it all on hardtails here in the Ozarks USA. OZ Trails baby! Ive personally never owned a fullsus. A Ragley and a NukeProof Scout 275 is all this man needs to quench his thirst for shred! The Ragley is a SUPER sick whip and the NP Scout is in finishing custom build stage. So looking forward to comparing the two heads up! The Rag will be damn tough to beat I'm afraid..... ✌

In your opinion what's the best hard tail bike for this type of riding? I'm looking to get into the sport but dont like rear suspension but want to pedal up/down hills, jump, hit burms, wheelies, etc. A bmx mountain bike basically.

That dropper post bit killed me haha. Great video as always. What's the deal with 'out of towners' riding at Woburn? Looks like the dream spot. Who do I need to bribe? ;-)

great video. thanks man

Been looking at getting one of these for a while now. I see it shreds on downhill or anything jumps. But how does it pedal uphill for a hardtail? Wondering if the geometry makes it kind of a pain.

Dude a love your helmet is awesome

This is definitely gonna be my first good bike. My trek marlin 7 is at its limit Haha

Just went through a long process of deciding on full sus or hardtail and I went with hardtail just because I’ve never even touched a full sus and I’ve never ridden with shocked front forks so I figured I’d try that out before going full sus.

Dream hardtail 😍😍
